Some people will be bad...


Some people will be bad.  Some will steal.  Some will bully and attack.  Some will rape and some will murder.  It's just a fact.

So, how do you deal with this fact?

Do you allow some people extra power over everyone else in the hopes that they are not among those who will be bad, and in the hopes that by having power over everyone, they will be able to stop those who are bad?

Or do you try a better way?

  1. The question is will free markets provide better and less costly means of protection from the "bad" people than fiat groups calling themselves "government"? Predators organized into "government" will inevitably claim monopoly upon violence -- for your own good, of course.

    "...If-You-See-Something--Say-Something!!..."

    Monopoly always destroys incentive. Monopoly can't come into being in totally free markets. Monopoly upon violence can only engender more and greater violence. Even if you could elect all the Ron Paul's in Texas, that axiom would remain true.

    Government "bad" guys are always a greater threat than free market "bad" guys. One of the reasons for that is so basic any kindergartner should recognize it: the free market "bad" guy knows s/he's a "bad" guy. Government "bad" guys on the other hand always suffer under the illusion that what they do is not "bad" -- that "...the people have spoken".

    Voting, no matter for whom or for what, in political elections, gives government "bad guys" their mandate to continue and constantly upgrade their machinations.

    Abstain From Beans, my friends.

    Neither your nor my abstinence, by themselves, won't solve the problem. But that's the place to start.
